Line: What we have is much more than they can see.

My take: What we have is much more than vacany.

This one is a true story from years ago. Heard an older guy dancing and singing the lyrics to Michael Jackson's Billy Jean. It went like this :

Billy Jean is not my lover, she's just a girl who thinks that I'm the one, but the chair is not my son.

unless the guy gepetto and the chair was pinnochio...that is like to be a true statement

Beat it, beat it, dont you let me repeat it

My eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the skool
We have locked up all the teachers we have broken all the rules
We plan to hang the principal tomorrow afternoon
Da skool is burning down.

Shame on you for walking on roof garden
Shame on you for walking on the roof

Stayin alive, hive, alive, uh huh
Ha, ha, ha, ha, stayin aliveeee

You can live another day

A new york times or feisty man

Im going nowhere
Somebody help me
Somebody help themself
